Re: driver OK report
I still the the old rule was best.
Build fifty if you want to run Super Stock, build five hundred if you want to run stock. At least this is how I remember it. I have always thought the nine inch tires were dangerous on the Factory Stock eliminator cars but few seemed to agree. |

Re: driver OK report
As currently published, the production run applies to body style only and not what's under the hood or skin. 500 minimum street CJ Mustangs makes that an accepted Stocker body. If I read it right. Rules state that a manufacturer may apply for a 50 vehicle exception to NHRA and these cars need not be available to the showroom. I remember talking to Larry McClanahan last year about his CJ and he said it was essentially a pile of parts ordered from Ford Performance. No VIN, title or anything.
NHRA restricts these cars to FS and FSS but that only helps for rare heads up racing at big events. Maybe run all all Stock and Super Stock cars quicker than 9.00 in a Top Stocker Eliminator? As for the small tire/big tire debate, Comstock broke something on the front end from a wheelstand landing. How would bigger slicks change this? |

The car was going left, then back right when on the ground. Over correction? Can you imagine the pucker factor at that moment? |

Just based on what I saw after hitting the shutter and lowering my camera. But some imply that bigger tires would have perhaps prevented the wreck. |

However, I'm totally against changing the rules to accommodate cars that don't belong in Stock Eliminator in the first place. I'll take my chances. ;-) |
